Doing the tie rod replacing now, but can't get the outter tie rod out. Seems like the whole tie rod is turning. Anything I am missing? TIA

I told you earlier this week I had that same problem. The shop I took it to used a blowtorch. I
suggest you do the same if you're comfortable with that.
Have you gotton the lock nut (the thing right in between the tie rod end and the "inner tie rod") loose?
